How to make House warming Invitations

Erin
Bassett shows us how to make house warming invitations with the
Silhouette Machine. Erin's shares her wonderful handmade card making
skills on her Creative Blog
so be sure to get over there for some inspiration.

Directions:
Step one

Using the Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter, cut out the card, the
card insert, and both pieces of the frame on the cardstock of your
choice. (For detailed instructions on how to cut out shapes for this
card with the Silhouette, please view this
video tutorial.)

Step two

Cut out a 9½” x ¾” strip of coordinating paper for the band that
will go around the card.

Step three

Print out your card details on the card insert.

Step four

Using a scrap of the same paper as you used for the card insert,
print out “Home” on it for the front of your card. (Make sure you
leave enough room around your word so that you have extra space to
center this piece of paper under your frame.)

Step five

Get
all of the pieces for your card ready and in front of you.

Step six

Center your card insert and adhear it to the center of the card.

Step seven

Take the outside of the card and fold in the “wings”.

Step eight

Take the 9½” x ¾” strip of cardstock you cut and fold it at 2¾” and
at 6¾”. You want the ends to overlap. (Make sure you do not fold this
too tightly around the card…you want it to be able to be slipped off
easily.) Glue your overlapping ends together.

Step
nine

Layer the two frame pieces over one another and adhere them
together. Take your printed “Home” paper and center the word under the
frame. Trim as needed and adhere it to the frame.

Step ten

Glue the completed frame on top of the band where it overlaps.

Once that dries you should be able to slip the band on & off the
card as needed.
